It seemed like it was more common sense than being brilliant. I too have moved from the corporate world to the working for myself world. But overall, we still work for the customer in my mind. No customers, no business. Speaking of being frugal, I just ran across a JV giveaway that just started. My story is a short one because I just got started in internet marketing about 2 month ago and I'm always searching for information that will help. I found a bunch of great stuff at this giveaway and now I have some inventory I can work with. Best part of it, ROI is 100%. :-) They have a whole bunch of great downloads. http://runurl.com/xx.php?50b Thanks for having this blog. You have a ton of great stuff on here. I've grabbed your rss feed. I loved the book the millionaire next door. It seemed like it was more common sense than being brilliant.

Exactly! When you've got it there is no reason to flaunt it. Bling is for the wannabes or the nouveau rich. “Status Symbols.” Exactly! When you’ve got it there is no reason to flaunt it.

You're right, attitude to money will play a huge role in whether or not we end up wealthy. If we respect money, we're likely to have it work for us. If we don't, we'll likely work for it. Regarding The Millionaire Next Door, I think it's important not to turn into Scrooge overnight. The trick is balancing spending some money without being frivolous and saving money without being overly tight. I guess that comes down to getting value for money and not buying "status symbols".

What separates the average pedestrian from the wealthiest has less to do with lifestyle than attitude toward money. The observations made in "The Millionaire Next Door" are a by-product of attitude rather than a contribution toward wealth. People with 'old money' see money as a tool. As any good carpenter will tell you take care of your tools and your tools will take of you. The average person sees money as a means to an end. Give a typical kid a hand full of cash and he see an iPod. He won't see the potential of that money and he certainly won't see that money as a responsibility. It took me a long time before realizing what was meant by seeing wealth as a responsibility. I'm still not sure that I grasp the whole subject. Neil,
